In keeping with the c
ommemorative spirit of an anniversary\, Simple Present\, Future Anterior
explores ideas of temporality and the nature of memory. Featuring work
by all fifteen gallery artists\, the exhibition takes its name from two ne
w pieces by Ian Carr-Harris: a pair of handcrafted blackboards with these t
itular grammatical tenses written on them in perfect cursive. These objects
recall conventions of display in pedagogical systems of early childhood\,
and also express a need to understand and define time.
